Castro Calls On ICE To Release El Paso Family Locked Away At Dilley Trailer Prison
SAN ANTONIO, TX - Today, Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20) released the following statement:
"Michell Germán should be getting ready for Senior Night this Friday. Instead, she's locked away at the Dilley Trailer Prison with her parents and younger sister. I met with the family last week. Michell is a bright young student at a magnet school in El Paso, the Center for Career and Technology Education, who's working toward her cosmetology license and dreams of a career in medicine. Her younger sister Paola attends Lamar Elementary and is only 11 years old.
"On Friday, Michell's teammates will carry her picture onto the field. But she's missing memories she'll never get back.
"ICE should release the family immediately. Now is the time for Democrats to get to work, shut down the Dilley Trailer Prison, and end family detention once and for all."
Castro met with the Germán family during his visit to the Dilley Trailer Prison on October 30, 2026.
